And I like the second quote much better. Being a bully in school: I had enough on the receiving end for me not to enjoy that. However, being the underdog vigilante and taking out bullys does appeal. The question is, will this raise the amount of school shootings and sentator outcries for banning video games, or lower them?

"And the Evil that was vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies will rain fire. The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.

Why don't they just go and get solidly fucked once and for all...
Ms Carnell told the BBC News website: "Bullying is not a suitable theme for a game. It diminishes the suffering of victims. And such games give the impression that these types of experiences are normal. We are very concerned that they have an effect on young people."
well Ms Carnell is a stupid cow.
i went four different schools, so i think i speak with a bit of authority here...
but rockstars computer game's contribution to bullying if there is any at all would be quite insignificant to the globally uniform proceedure of schooling institutions habit of looking the other way while bullies do their thing.
honestly... no teacher in history has ever fended of bullies from their victims.
it is school policy to not get involved...
and the parents of bullies are even worse...
i mean say what you like about kids gone bad in shootings and robberies but it without a doubt in my overabundant experience on the matter that teachers and parents turn a blind eye EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME!!!
school bullies are by far the least punished or even acknowleged criminal group in operation and have been forever...
...and a video game that just came out is the key?
I seriously think not!!!
and any educated person who even suggests it should be stripped of thier college credentials immediatley and forced to work in burger king because they have no more right teaching kids then junkie does looking after electronic goods!!!
utter insanity!!!
Last week youth group Peaceaholics staged a protest outside the company's headquarters there in protest at plans to release Bully.
oohhhh... even better...
a youth group of peaceaholics....
maybe they should be gathered around the front of the school....
or around the bullies home.
ah, god bless the people.
when there's a fire in the kitchen, their the first to throw a pale of water in the bedroom of the house down the street.

Yeah, this is just another case of shifting blame from society and groupthink to an inanimate object that calls it to attention.
The faculty doesn't get involved, and the students nearby are either wusses (that is, afraid to lose face to defend someone bullied), don't care, or enjoy watching an asshole torment someone. Or they join in.

but i like floppy's response.
honestly this really pisses me off...
again art that immitates life is accuse of instigating it.
perhaps if schools had the balls to expell bullies, there wouldn't be a problem.

Just like in that South Park episode when parents don't want to teach sex to the kids and they blame the school for it.
